Came across this video from last year on someone's Google+ page (thanks Edward) about open carry in the US. Some open carry people walked into a fast food place over there with these maniacal looking guns, and the staff freaked out thinking they were being robbed or something. They went and hid in the cool room and called the cops, with a whole bunch of cops turning up. Thankfully it didn't end up in another US mass shooting and no casualties (apart from people's nerves). You have to wonder though what could have happened; three men with crazy ass weapons, cops outside responding to a suspected armed robbery situation, and "Merica....... BTW I don't like the panelist in the middle, never have. Loud mouth dick head he is. I certainly don't agree with him at all.

About me
After 30 years of very physical full time work in the printing industry our print dept was outsourced and we all lost our jobs. As I'd gotten HIV beforehand and was having trouble attending and doing work I discussed with my HIV doctor whether I should apply for the Australian Disability Support Pension. He agreed,and I became a DSP pensioner under the new Gillard rules of adherence that now sees 75% of DSP applicants rejected.
Have been diagnosed with PTSD, severe depression, chronic kidney failure, and of course HIV. I'd become suicidal in 2009 after 3 extreme life events in a row; My best friend killed herself in the US (I don't make friends easily BTW), my teenage/young adult daughter had me charged by the police with a minor problem, and I was diagnosed with HIV. All in three weeks.
Some say god won't give you more than you can bear, my reply is "Well what happened to me?" If not for the HIV support here in Australia and me being able to have access to it I'd likely be dead by now. Unbearable pain often causes suicide, no matter physical or mental.
Today I've not worked since being made redundant. I remain with episodes of depression and panic attacks, sometimes severe. I may be fine and happy to leave the house, at times I'm paralised in bed, secure and safe and not willing to face the world.
